TASHA: I decided to call "Readers", because I wanna know what is going on! My boyfriend, he's been staying out all night, I don't know what's going on! I'm looking through his stuff, I mean ... I find this bookmark!
[she holds up an "iBorrow anytime I want! Do U?" bookmark]

STANLEY: What?
TASHA: Wh-What're you, cheating on me with the library?
STANLEY: Look, I-I'm sorry ... The library provides me more things than you ever could! I can access thousands of articles through Gale's database, I get free wireless internet access, I get free computer classes, and there's book clubs to join. There's, there's book clubs to join! Look, it's amazing! I can't help myself! I can't help it, I love the library! I can't help it!
TASHA: I-I can't believe this is happening!
